The engagement is over, but the black-bellied president won't let go

Qiao Liu nodded firmly: "Of course, our original intention is to inherit and carry forward the charm of the national cheongsam, and this must not change."

Their eyes met, and they saw the determination and belief in each other's eyes.

"By the way, Ruofei, in terms of design, I think we can launch some customized services based on different customer groups. For example, we can design some cheongsams with more fashionable and simple styles for young people; and some more elegant and grand styles for mature women." Qiao Liu continued.

Leng Ruofei's eyes lit up, like a bright meteor across the night sky, and he said excitedly: "This is a good idea! We can indeed design cheongsams to suit different occasions. For example, at a wedding that symbolizes eternity and beauty, the cheongsam should be like a dreamy fairy dress, embellished with romance and blessings; at a solemn and elegant dinner, the cheongsam should show nobility and luxury, becoming the focus of the whole audience; and for daily life, the cheongsam should be both comfortable and beautiful, allowing women to show their unique charm even in ordinary days."

"That's right," Qiao Liu nodded slightly, with a thoughtful and determined look in his eyes, and continued, "And the choice of fabrics can be more diverse. In addition to traditional silk, which is as smooth as silk and shimmering with a warm luster, and cotton, which has a simple and warm texture, we can also bravely try some new environmentally friendly fabrics. They can not only bring people a comfortable wearing experience, but also meet the modern people's demand for environmental protection and fashion. "

"And, Liuliu," Leng Ruofei's voice rose slightly with excitement, her cheeks flushed with excitement, "I have always wanted to work hard on the accessories of cheongsam, such as designing some unique handbags and necklaces. Imagine, that exquisite handbag, like a small art treasure, inlaid with dazzling gems or delicate embroidery; that unique necklace, hanging gracefully between the white neck, complementing the cheongsam, and matching them to form a complete fashion suit, like a perfect art painting." Leng Ruofei waved the pencil in her hand as she spoke, as if depicting the wonderful ideas in her heart in the air.

Qiao Liu smiled, his eyes full of appreciation and recognition: "This will be a good selling point and can greatly increase the added value of our products."

Leng Ruofei's thoughts were gushing out like a spring. Her eyes were burning and she said earnestly, "During this trip to Yangzhou, I was deeply touched by some intangible cultural heritage. I think we can cleverly integrate them into our design. Every stitch and thread of those exquisite embroidery techniques contains profound cultural heritage and the hard work of craftsmen. If we can add them as design elements, it will undoubtedly add endless charm and soul to our cheongsam. And, Liuliu, our brand will promote private customization services. Let every woman become a unique protagonist and enjoy exclusive and distinguished treatment. We must break the shackles of tradition and make private customization no longer a high-end luxury, but a popular and intimate choice. Only one of each style will be made to ensure that each cheongsam is a unique treasure in the world, carrying the owner's unique temperament and story."

Qiao Liu listened attentively, nodding in agreement from time to time, with the same enthusiasm shining in his eyes: "Ruofei, your idea is great! This kind of private customization can not only satisfy every woman's pursuit of unique beauty, but also make our brand stand out among many competitors."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the studio was warm and exciting. The two seemed to be in an ocean of creativity, swimming freely and exploring countless possibilities.

Time passed quietly without anyone noticing, and the sunlight outside the window gradually set in the west. The originally blazing and dazzling golden light now became soft and warm, casting patches of light and shadow on the floor of the studio through the window. The originally bright room was gradually occupied by shadows, but it did not give people a sense of oppression, but instead added a bit of tranquility and peace.

Leng Ruofei and Qiao Liu were still immersed in the heated conversation, not noticing the passage of time. Their voices rose and fell, sometimes high, passionately expounding their own opinions; sometimes low, falling into a brief silence of deep thought. Every idea thrown out was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples of thought and triggering the other party's deeper thinking and response.

The studio was filled with a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere, and the air seemed to be filled with invisible electricity, stirring up the spark of innovation. The workbench piled with drawings and fabrics seemed to have become a mysterious treasure house, pregnant with countless beautiful miracles that were about to be born. The mannequins placed in the corner listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and seemed to be looking forward to wearing those unique cheongsams as soon as possible and showing their unparalleled elegance.

Leng Ruofei leaned forward slightly, gesturing with his hands in the air, trying to describe his vision more vividly: "Liu Liu, think about it, when a woman walks into our studio, she brings with her expectations of beauty and cherishment of herself. We must listen to her story carefully, feel her temperament and preferences. Then, starting from the design sketch, every stroke is tailored for her. The fabrics we choose, whether it is the smoothness of silk or the simplicity of cotton, must be close to her skin and communicate with her heart."

Qiao Liu held her chin with both hands, her eyes full of yearning: "Yes, Rufei. And the exquisite embroidery, every flower must seem to bloom for her, every bird must seem to fly for her. The design of the buttons must also be ingenious, like a small lock, locking her beauty and uniqueness."

Leng Ruofei's eyes were firm and his tone was full of confidence: "Yes, when this unique cheongsam is finally presented to her, she will feel an indescribable sense of fit and satisfaction. This is not just a piece of clothing, but an extension of her own charm and an external manifestation of her inner soul."

Qiao Liu narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had already seen the beautiful picture: "Moreover, this kind of customized service will allow every customer to establish a deep emotional connection with us. They will become our most loyal supporters and disseminators, spreading our brand reputation by word of mouth."

Leng Ruofei nodded gently and said with a smile: "Yes, this is our goal. Let every woman find her own beauty code here, and let our cheongsam become a witness and companion to the important moments in their lives."

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window, shining on the two people, outlining their resolute silhouettes. Their conversation continues, and their ideas continue to collide with brilliant sparks, painting a beautiful blueprint full of infinite possibilities for the future of the studio. In this warm studio, dreams are taking root and sprouting, and are about to bloom into gorgeous flowers.

In the following days, Leng Ruofei and Qiao Liu worked together and were very busy. Leng Ruofei devoted himself to the design work, constantly innovating and improving, striving to make every cheongsam a work of art. Qiao Liu actively contacted partners, expanded market channels, and planned marketing activities.

In order to find the right fabric supplier, Qiao Liu worked tirelessly to travel to various markets and bargain with suppliers, just to get the best quality and most affordable fabrics. Once, she negotiated with a supplier for a whole day for a batch of high-quality silk, and finally got the goods at a satisfactory price.

Leng Ruofei was also not idle, she often stayed up until the early morning for a design detail. Once, she repeatedly tried dozens of materials and styles for the button design of a cheongsam until she achieved the most satisfactory effect.

"Ruofei, have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself. You haven't had any rest since morning." Qiao Liu said softly, placing a cup of steaming hot coffee next to her.

Leng Ruofei replied without even looking up: "Let it go for now. My inspiration is surging and I can't stop."

Qiao Liu shook her head helplessly. She knew that once Leng Ruofei entered the working state, she would devote herself wholeheartedly and it would be difficult for anything in the outside world to disturb her.

Leng Ruofei's design process was not smooth. She often struggled for a long time because of a detail. For example, if the curvature of the neckline of the cheongsam was one degree more, it would look stiff, and if it was one degree less, it would lose its charm. She repeatedly revised the sketch and kept gesturing on the fabric, striving to achieve the most perfect effect. She cut the fabric herself and sewed it stitch by stitch. The studio was filled with the smell of fabric and the sound of sewing machines, and her figure looked particularly focused under the lights.

At noon, everyone went to eat and rest, but Leng Ruofei was still busy. "Ruofei, it's time to eat. Your health is important." Qiao Liu reminded again.

"You guys eat first, I'll go after I finish this part." Leng Ruofei agreed verbally, but he didn't stop the work in his hands.

By the time she finally finished her work, it was already past two in the afternoon. She ate a few bites of the cold food and continued to work.

As the design progressed, Leng Ruofei encountered more and more problems. In order to make the cheongsam fit the human body better, she invited models of different body shapes to try it on, and then made adjustments based on their feedback. Every try-on was a challenge, and she needed to carefully observe the effect of the cheongsam on the model and record every imperfection.

"The waist of this cheongsam is a bit tight, and it's not very convenient to move around in it," said the model.

Leng Ruofei quickly stepped forward to check and marked the places that needed to be modified with a pin, "Okay, I got it, thank you for your feedback."

After modifying the pattern, Leng Ruofei began to consider the decorative elements of the cheongsam. She drew inspiration from various traditional crafts, such as embroidery, buttoning, and bead embroidery. In order to find skilled craftsmen, she asked around and even visited some old artists in person.
